SPRINGTIME IN PARIS
I was in Paris recently and when I wasn’t doing working or running around to art museums, I spent my time doing very little, sitting in cafés and watching people go by. Everyone just looks considered without trying too hard. It’s the best kind of inspiration. After a few days, I started noticing small patterns in how people were getting dressed. Not trends exactly, more like ways of putting things together that felt easy but intentional.
STRIPES AS A BASE
Stripes are everywhere right now, but what stood out was how they were being used. Almost like a neutral. Layered under something more expressive, they ground the look and add texture without competing. I also loved seeing stripes on stripes, especially with a clean, white jean.
ANIMAL PRINT, BUT CLEANER
Animal print feels different this time. Bigger, simpler pieces like a leopard skirt or barrel pant, worn almost like a neutral. It can go two directions, either clashed with something more unexpected, or kept tonal for a more classic feel.
SPRING, BUT NOT TOO SWEET
It was unusually warm for March, and you could feel that shift. Lighter layers, a bit more color, but still balanced. A cropped jacket with a slim skirt or dress feels like an easy way into Spring without it becoming overly delicate.
A HINT OF RED
Red kept showing up in small ways, socks, shoes, a single accessory. Just enough to lift everything else. I like the idea of keeping an outfit quite tonal and letting once color do the work.
DOUBLE DENIM, DONE SIMPLY
Denim on denim kept showing up in a very understated way. Less styled, more about good proportions and easy layers. A slightly oversized jacket with a straight or relaxed jean, often broken up with something simple underneath. It felt practical, but still sharp.
SPRING EDIT
These are the pieces I've been reaching for to get that balance.
